Steps

1. 1
   Find a good spot for a gnome home. It is really easy, just find a suitable tree, not way too wide, but not thin like a birch. White pines work well.
   
   
   
2. 2
   Collect sticks and pine needles and other things that you think might be useful. Don't use trash, since gnomes are very protective of the environment. Also don't break sticks off of live trees or destroy animal habitats.
   
   
   
3. 3
   Build your frame. It should consist of sticks leaning against a tree.
